Anyone else drinking more since lockdown?

[B0bbin]

I only properly realised when I looked at the recycling. I think we've had a drink every night this week. Prosecco on a weeknight? Yep.
Anyone else found this?

No. Don't even have any in the house! Only drink about twice a year (I'm very boring) but earlier on was thinking I really fancy a drink... didn't get one though. Maybe I will tomorrow

Yep. But I'm stuck living with my darling DM until this is all over. If I don't drink, I'll end up living in the boot of my car 😫🔫

Yep, don't usually drink at all. Drinking most nights at the moment. Turns out I hate being at home.

Yes
And I was doing well with dry Jan and moderating until now

Am still better that last year but drinking about 4/5 x week instead of 2/3

Yes

Yes.

🙋‍♀️

I've found my people! 😂

Lunch time g&t is becoming a thing.

I'll be having a vodka or 12 tomorrow night. Got a litre chilling.

Yep, alcohol shops in Aus now have bottle limits
Generous limits but still, its been limited

I'm down to 2 bottles of white in the fridge and a half bottle of vodka. I'm feeling twitchy, I'll not lie. Can't face the thought of going to a supermarket though.

Yep I’m mainlining most Slimming world friendly spirits

I work from home till 7 then have a drink whilst I’m cooking dinner
It just deteriorates from then........
Don’t want to put weight back on though so will have to cut back soon

So glad I'm not alone! Thanks you lot. I think it must be a side effect of all this massive change and non- stop c- related news. Enjoying right now but can't keep this up too long... maybe the empty wine shelves is a blessing in disguise...? Nah.

I rarely drink and don’t have alcohol in the house as a general rule, I thought about buying some then made a conscious choice not to for fear that by the end of this I would be up a seriously overweight alcoholic!

And me , can normally go a week or 2 but it's been every night since last Friday and today we had a drink in the afternoon

Yep.

I have depleted my emergency whisky supply a little sooner than I planned!

Me too 😕

Gotta get a grip. I could get addicted to a shoelace (addictive sort) so I better watch out.

It's all or nothing with me though. Sigh.

Actually no, because my partner and I made a pledge to massively cut down for Lent and we are proud of our willpower. But Easter cannot come too soon...

Oh yes, drinking every night just now (just 1 or 2 glasses) but normally only drink at weekends.

I had 2 drinks, 2 nights in a row (so 4 drinks in total). Not much. But it's the week. I never drink during the week but this week is an odd one, to say the least.

At the time, it was "oh go on/I deserve it/treat yourself" but then I didn't feel great for it or about it. It's not about the volume, which is minimal obviously. I guess I just don't want it to become a habit, or give in to the "I deserve it" mentality. So I've made a conscious decision that same as usual, I'll save it just for a weekend night.

Yup

I was a bit peeved at Drinkaware (Ireland) for issuing warnings about it. Yeah I get that it’s their job, but there’s very little to give people a lift at the moment.

I’ve decided to limit it to 3 days a week though.

Every single night, AA will make a fortune out of me when this is all over (light hearted)

I wouldn't want to myself as I saw a you tube video where Dr John said it was important to drink fluids - but not alcoholic fluids lol - because being hydrated is supposed to make your mucous more liquid. So easier to cough up. So I think that alcohol might dry you up. Probably overthinking it.
